[UNEDITED AND TO BE REMOVED DECEMBER 31st, 2025] *** After moving to Connecticut to room with her best friend for the summer, Chastity Blake doesn't know what to think of the charm bracelet she finds, caught under the floorboards in her new bedroom; with the initials D.K. engraved into it. But ignoring the bracelet's origins isn't an option when she begins to live out strange scenarios as a young woman named Delilah. And when these scenarios start cutting too close to reality, she can't help but suspect they're memories. She quickly realizes though they're not her memories. They're Delilah Kim's memories -- a girl who was believed to have committed her family's murder, then suicide. But her memories tell a different story other than what everyone else in town seems to know. And it's up to Chastity to place the missing pieces of the puzzle together.

Deeply hurt by a lover's betrayal, Noah Hunter leaves a shattered life behind and moves to Spring Lakes to join his brother's pack. All he wants is a quiet place and some time to heal. Fate has other ideas. In the middle of the night, on a lonely stretch of road, Noah hits a dog. When he brings the injured animal to a veterinarian, he crosses paths with the singular, mysterious, and aggravatingly handsome Ambrose Thorne. When, after learning that Noah needs a place to stay, Ambrose invites him to his home, Noah thinks he may have found just the sort of peace and space he needs, and the last thing he expects is to become entangled in the heart of a mystery. While helping his brother Dane on a case involving a string of inexplicable thefts, Noah soon discovers that his new acquaintance is more than he seems and is inextricably tied to the strange burglaries. As the case becomes complicated by occult rituals, murder, and mythical beasts, Noah finds himself in more than one kind of danger - because while he doubts that anyone would want something so broken and torn, it seems like his heart might get stolen, too. He just hopes that the one who steals it and the thief at the heart of the mystery are not one and the same. ----- WARNINGS: This story contains strong language, some violence, and sex. ----- DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction.

Poppy Evans is particularly invisible to everyone around her and it's ironic that she's extremely forgetful, since so many people forget her. Teachers forget her name, students are unaware she exists, and her family fails to remember that she's a person too. She can only hope that she won't fall into oblivion.

When Sydney Sherwood was thirteen, she fell in love. She was utterly enamoured with Carter Pearson - the cute, enigmatic, brilliant fourteen year old who lived across the street. But, after only a few months, Carter and his family disappeared, leaving behind a 'House For Sale' sign and one broken-hearted girl. Six years later, Sydney is beginning a year abroad at Yale University, over 3000 miles from her home in England. A chance at a blank slate, a leap into the unknown. That is, until she stumbles across Carter himself in line at a campus coffee shop. They're half the world away from where they met and just as far from the people they used to be. But sometimes, it seems, the universe has a plan of its own. And for Sydney and Carter, that means their story isn't over yet, whether they like it or not.

"And we are all just fighting to survive a world where I miss you doesn't mean I'm coming back and I love you doesn't mean I'll stay," - Chloé Frayne ----- Where the fuck is it?" He snarls, slamming me against the wall. For several minutes we stay here, his grip crushing my wrists and his anger crushing my strength. "I-I don't know.. I don't know where the drugs are just please stop. You're hurting me." My voice trembles. A sharp pain rapidly pierces through my body from my back as my body gets hurled into the corner of a cabinet like a rag doll and held there by his huge frame in ratio to my tiny one. "I won't ask again, where the fuck is it?" He growls as his fury rises. "Don't you think you've had enough today? You smell of weed and alcohol, it's intoxicating and god knows what else you've taken.." I whisper as my confidence diminishes. His poisoned touch slithers it's way to my neck as he tightly moves my weak body back to the wall. Holding me up by my throat, I want to scream but instead he repeats the question. "Where the fuck are the drugs?" I gently point to a hidden draw within a cabinet opposite me and he instantly drops me to reach for it. I fall down as my body goes heavy, feeling like a hundred bricks and so I lay there whilst he pumps the rest of the drugs he bought into his destroyed shell of a body. --------- She whose name means goddess of cures has quite a juxtaposition to her personality. In a world where everyone thinks it's her fault she begins to heal by believing she's to blame but is she? Or is he? As she tries to get past life being a nobody, she somehow manages to be somebody to quite a lot of people including the bad boy himself.

I meet him at the right time. Or a completely wrong one, depending on the perspective you look from. I am not the one to fall head over heels in love with someone and he is not the guy someone should even fall in love with. But there are all the witty comebacks, the unplanned meetings at the bar, the rides on his motorcycle, all the laughs we share before the morning ... It does something to both of us. It changes us to the extent where we suddenly can't live without all of this. He is not a good guy. He's as bad as it gets. But he's perfect for me. I want to believe our story is a modern fairy tale with a more realistic ending. You won't get the princess-prince bullshit from me. You'll get it how it is with no sugar-coating. I was no princess and he was no prince, yet we still had something beautiful going on. For a while, at least.

Eliza Carter thinks she has the world. A loving family, an adoring boyfriend and everything she could ever wish for. But she couldn't be more wrong. Wrapped up in a false society, a sudden event will turn her world upside down making her realise that her whole life is one big lie.

Book 1 in The O'Connor Chronicles She ran. They hunted her. They don't lurk in the dark or hide in the shadows. No. They hide in plain sight. They could be anyone: your next-door neighbor, your father, your friend...the person you least expect. The Unseen. Ky Grayson was chasing a murderer. What he found, however, was a girl. Hurt. Starving. Terrified. Alone. Their lives collided-intertwining together at an effortless pace neither of them had anticipated. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he was in over his head. No one wants to be found. No one wants to be seen. But they see everything.
